Pre-Match View From Charlton

[Boxer Blade]

Didnt know we were so big in London, behind man utd obviously but sounds like we are massive.

Yeah, I feel for Charlton. Imagine what it must be like being in the third division when you should be higher, seeing constant changes in management and playing staff.

A very good point BB. The distinction I'd make though, between their owner and ours is that, from where I'm sitting their owner seems to show contempt for the club and the fans. Our owners have been shit, but shit with the best intentions. (Like Trigger Blade said above.)

These protests about bad Chairman often confuse me.

The bottom line for fans seems to be if a team struggles then obviously the Chairman is shit.
If a team does well then the Chairman must be great regardless of what he does.

For example Southampton SELL their best players every year
Surely that's a recipe for disaster but their owner is well thought of because they still do well

Wednesday's owner has increased match day prices to the highest in the league
Changed the shirts getting rid of stripes
Change the badge
Doesn't communicate with fans not interested in their views
Has this foreign coaching style where a separate committee buys the players not the manager
Got rid of the Owls logo in the seat and replaced it with his name etc etc

If Wednesday were struggling no doubt he'd be the worse Chairman ever, just in it for the money trying to rip off Sheffield folk but because they reached the playoffs last season then obviously this means he must be a good Chairman

I bet if Charlton were in the PL then they'd accept their chaimans behaviour and just say he a little different and eccentric etc

True, but only to a point: (Until recently) Man Utd were the most enviable and successful club in the country but still hated the Glazers

This tag we apparently have of being a bit nawtee...did I miss a meeting?

I observed the handbags at Vale last season but I assumed that just came with the territory of being in Burslem.

Just read the opinions of the Charlton supporters. Bit of a gush when it comes to their sense of entitlement. They've clearly not given a thought to why we're second in this division and they're not. Good, let the fuckers act like ten bob millionaires, there's a reality-check coming their way and in just over 24 hours they'll realise just how misguided they are.

We shall see. Should be a good game but do we need to take playing cards?

I'm not sure I particularly agree with that quote, as poetic as it is.

“Blunt Sharp and blunt the Blades …” how naive. Keeps a certain big black guy under the radar.

I have no idea what Duchatelet's thinking might be..

They were extremely confident, verging on arrogant for the cup quarter final. That ended well for them.

They were still in shock having beaten the team who were already in the final.

If the planned protests do go ahead during the game, I can only see this unsettling the Charlton players. This may well be to our advantage.

“Blunt Sharp and blunt the Blades …”

They dont realise that our holy trinity for this season are Fleck, Coutts and Duffy

Supporters who are alright in London:-

Spuds
Charlton
Brentford
Wombles

The rest are for the Twats thread.

You missed Orient.

 

[Bridge Blade]

This CARD guy has a 75%win rate!! With numbers like that surely the chairman should be lining him up for the next managerial role?

 

[Hartley Hare]

Agreed on that list + Orient.

Spuds fans are a bunch of whinging tossers - A fair number of them currently feel that Pochettino should be sacked. I mean really??

Every week people read these comments and get ultra defensive. Probably worth remembering Roygbiv picks the most extreme/funniest comments. Really no need to get your knickers in a twist and start hating the entire club/fanbase based on a handful of forum posts!
